Published:
If you're ready to place a few bets but need to top up your account first, EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) is a simple and safe way to do it. Whether you're new to Sportingbet or just trying out EFT for the first time, this quick guide will walk you through the steps.
What’s EFT, and why use it?
EFT is just a fancy way of saying "bank transfer." You move money straight from your bank account into your Sportingbet wallet. It’s secure, works with all major South African banks, and gives you that extra peace of mind—because you're doing it all yourself, through your own banking app or internet banking.
